With his punishment of a 3 match ban handed out earlier, it got me thinking: What would have happened if he had done that at the Britannia, in front of the Boothen? Obviously I don't condone the idiot(s) that were throwing coins at him in the 1st place, but I am interested to see what you think the Stoke reaction would have been. Discuss.  |

He should get at least what Eric C got for his Kung foo kick. If anything Drogba's was worse.

if they find the fan that threw it then he will get a life ban, possibly imprisoment. theirfore with him throwing it back and hitting an innocent person, he should be given a much longer ban and imprisonment!

The person that the coin hit should sue the over-payed diving prick!!!

How do we know it didn't hit the original offender? I hope so.

It's an "interesting" debate. A fan would get a life ban and Drogba gets 3 games out. I have to say that for me the punishment has to be roughly the same for both fan and player. If I am honest the ban for the player must be higher as at least the fan was never going to hit a woman or child. Its a difficult one as I would never throw a coin at a match and I think a life long ban is a bit harsh. Perhaps a season long ban for either fan or player would be fairer?

agree with deano on this one, the original thrower could face life time ban from ALL football games, compensation costs, going to court and even a sentance or Com. Service? so why does the guy who throws it back (knowing he's very unlikely to hit the actuall original thrower!) only get 3 games ban and nothing else..  sickens me.. |

The "fan" should definitely be banned - life or long term.
The player should have a serious ban - I think 3 matches is poor - don't they get that for a straight red card? Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think Chelsea have backed up the FA with a ??? x weeks wages fine.

I wasn't aware of that  I just thought he was a complete tit for celebrating in front of them when he had 3/4 of the rest of the stadium to celebrate in front of, they were complete tits for throwing coins and he was a complete tit for throwing a coin back. Am I wide of the mark? |

Some of you young un's will not remember when we played Man City,they were in the Butler street(may have been the boxing day game) but one of them threw a banana at ooh Georgie Berry,he then did the funniest thing by picking it up and eating it,then went on to throw the skin back into the crowd.
Imagine the repercussions of that now hey.

Imagine the repercussions of that now hey. It was in that game a Man City supporter ran on to the pitch after they took the lead. Bouncing around like a Jester, he goaded the Stoke supporters who were standing on the terraces in the main stand. He went too close to the fences and someone grabbed his scarf, pulling him towards the fence for a Chinese Burn. |

I would probably throw my pie at him... haha would be so worth it.., and on behalf of the boothen i think they would throw bottles and just give him greif, throwing money is far too stupid. Especially when they are saving up for the away games..

Drogba's an idiot for doing what he did, and deserves his ban. The sad thing is it's taken the spotlight of the c**t who threw the coin at him in the first place.

I can remember going to Old Trafford many years ago and having the home supporters launch 10p pieces over my head for most of the game. Quite unnerving and it makes it difficult to concentrate on the match.
As for the respective punishment of player and fan, if you throw a coin onto a pitch with 20+ blokes on it, you are far less likely to cause injury than throwing a coin onto a crowded terrace (regardless of original intent).
Drogba was virtually guaranteed to hit somebody and should be punished accordingly.

Not to defend Drogba, whose actions were idiotic, but isn't there an argument that none of this would have happened if that cock in the crowd hadn't chucked anything in the first place?

He should be banned for 7 months at least. That is what Cantana got for a less serious incident. The FA shitting themselves again.  |

Cantana kung fu kicked some one, ie he intentially used his boots to harm a supporter. Studs flying at someone, with somebody of Cantanas weight can do more damage than a coin juts been tossed in the air...yes toweards supporters but there wasn't really malice in it unlike Cantana's Drogba was a dick for throwing the coin back, but at the end of the day he shouldn't have coins thrown at him for doing his JOB how ever much of a prick he is! |

Wrong. Cantana got the bloke he was after square in the dial. Good shot. Drogba could have taken the eye out of a child, women or anyone else who had fuck all to do with the coin being thrown. I would rather take a kick in the face than a random coin flying at me. Edit. The twat that Cantana kicked deserved it. |
